PREFACE.

Tue object of the present Catalogue is to give a com-
plete list of all the genera and species of Noctuide known
to exist in the different collections. The letters a, b, ¢,
&e., after the species, denote the specimens now contained
in the British Museum, followed by the habitat and the mode
in which each of them was obtained, and the absence of
these letters indicates the species which are desiderata, and

therefore desirable to be procured for the collection.

Body generally stout. Proboscis very generally moderately iong.
Palpi distinct, often rather long, very long in a few species. An-
tenne setaceous, slender, longer ‘than the thorax, rarely pectinated,
except in the males of some species. Abdomen generally extending
beyond the hind wings. Legs most frequently moderately long and
stout, occasionally slender; hind tibie generally with four long
spurs. Wings moderately broad, rarely narrow or very broad, sel-
dom long. Fore wings straight in front, rounded or angular at the
tips, moderately or very oblique along the exterior border. Larva
generally naked, cylindrical and robust, and with ten prehensile
feet, in some families elongate and slender, more or less looping,
and with eight or sixteen prehensile feet. Pupa mostly changing
in the ground, rarely in a slight web.

The distinction between the Noctuites and the Bombycites has
been already mentioned, and the former, with very few exceptions,
may easily be distinguished from the Geometrites, but some of the

aberrant groups are closely allied to the Pyralites, whose structure is
extremely variable.

Note.— Guénée’s genus Prometopus does not seem to be allied
to Diphtera, but rather to the second division of Noctuztes, or, as he
remarks, to the Notodontide.

The genus Colocasia which follows Prometopus in Guénée’s
_ arrangement, is noticed in this Catalogue, 1st Series, p. 787.

the length of the terminal joint of the palpi, and in other characters.
